Thanks for that. He went back to school in the 80s and I had the pleasure of getting to know him a little bit in a philosophy class. I was an undiagnosed autistic girl and had trouble making friends but we hit it off pretty well. Very sweet man. I just found myself wondering what had become of him and found this video. Glad to know he's doing well.

Just FYI: imdb is notoriously flawed when it comes to tracking actors who are not major stars. A lot of erroneous information, which is left to the actors themselves to monitor and correct. Obviously, it can be helpful, but it is by no means a definitive source. And, also, just to let you know, the actor in the David Jansen clip is not Kenneth Washington. It's Felton Perry.

More Hogan's Heroes videos? You're talking my language! They had a number of excellent guest stars you haven't touched on that would be good subjects for videos. How about Nita Talbot who played the Russian woman Marya and Bernard Fox who played Colonel Crittendon? Both were EXCELLENT on the show! A couple others that weren't in as many episodes that I think would have interesting videos are Oscar Beregi and J. Pat O Malley. I'll also suggest Hans Conried who played Major Bonacelli in the episode the Pizza Parlor which I thought was very funny.

From an interview with Ivan, He was treated like a dog after the cameras were off. He hated being in Hollywood, which is why he moved to France. I think this guy suffered, because Ivan's exit was public and he made no bones about it. Hollywood, instead of correcting their behavior, blames all the Black actors that come after the one that tells them off. Hence the reason why my career never took off. I got the "you're perfect for the role, but I can't hire you," or "I can't put a Black guy in the leading role, the producers would murder me" #sigh

So this may explain the confusion on IMDB, but sadly it is not the family of Kenneth from Hogan's Heroes, unless Kenny was an uncle of Kenneth. Hope this doesn't confuse anyone.
